Tailwheel aircraft open a new world of experiences and challenges. A tailwheel will help you respect where your flight controls are and the environment (the wind). Without doubt, tailwheels will make you a better pilot no matter what you fly. I can help you get your tailwheel training and endorsement.
Availability: On my AvCal - read-only but gives good insight to my overall schedule.
Criteria (for endorsement):
- My criteria for the endorsement is performance, not hours. There is no minimum time required even though schools will often set one. If you handle a tailwheel well, you will require less time.
- Typically, it takes 7-12 hours (mostly traffic patterns).
Pricing:
- I am still finding the right price. I don't want cost to be a barrier to improving your flying skills.
- Currently, I charge...
- $250/hour for flight training (includes me and the airplane).
- $50/hour for ground training.
- If you use your own airplane, flight training remains at $50/hour.
